BLOOD

August 14, 2013

In this day of political correctness and related "filtering," the notion that Christ shed blood covers the sins of the people, some set it aside.  If we are a biblical people, such is a corruption.

 
How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our conscience from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!
                                                         --Hebrews 9:14 TNIV
 
Jesus is the replacement for the prior sacrificial system; he IS the sacrifice!  "For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance--now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant." (9:15)

If there is no blood, well...it's a bloody mess.  But there is his blood, and we are free, and given new life.  Rejoice!
 
Joyfully,
